Dear Pete,Sorry for the misunderstanding. When I mentionned 'parts content' I meant the general regular parts used like the optical pick-ups, the caps etc..are now not manufactured to rigid specs and good QC as they used to be in yesteryears..I believe, and from personal experience, that Philips and/or Sony transport mechanisms were much more reliable then and used to be workhorses for many years. Nowadays, these can fail so quickly, have bugs and they are not as robust made as they used to be. Even the 'cheaper' versions used to last long without any hiccups.
A friend of mine still has the Philips based Meridien 206 player and it's still working great, never had a problem and sounds great too.
It seems obvious to me, maybe just a coincidence too, that things have started to go downhill with the introduction of the SACD format and the consequent players. A lot of problems are happening with CD/SACD based players and Universal players in all price ranges.
Best Regards
